An open letter to the U.S. House of Representatives
NO on Sec I203 of the Budget Reconciliation Bill, aka Big Beautiful Bill
11 so far! Help us get to 25 signers!
As your constituent I urge you to stand with the rule of law and against the rule of lawlessness. The budget bill must not be used to conceal the anti-rule-of-law language in Section I203.
The offending text that MUST not be permitted to pass into law reads: "SEC. I203.
RESTRICTION ON ENFORCEMENT.
No court of the United States may issue a preliminary injunction or temporary restraining order against the Federal Government (other than a preliminary injunction or temporary restraining order issued in a case proceeding under title 11, United States Code) if no security is given, in an amount proper to pay the costs and damages sustained by the Federal Government, when the injunction or order is issued pursuant to rule 65(c) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure after the date of enactment of this Act. No court may consider any factor other than the value of the costs and damages sustained when making its determination of the proper value of such security, and that determination shall be appealable upon issuance of the preliminary injunction or temporary restraining order under an abuse of discretion standard."
As your constituent I expect you to uphold the rule of law and not erode the law by legislating lawlessness. Your votes are public, and your constituents do NOT want this lawless language in the budget reconciliation bill.
